dhtml can have its uses depending on the market you're attempting to target
(I'm still toying with it). For instance, though I could have used an
image map to create the navigation links to the right of
http://www.familyforever.org/ydesign.html , I opted for the absolute
positioning afforded by dhtml. Using it, I was able to place the text nav
bar over the splash image. As an added effect, I tossed in a mouseover
color change for the one active link (rfq) that works only in I.E.40+. I'm
still working on the color change for NC4.0+, but that's going to take a
bit more doing.
Personally, I like dhtml for its positioning capacity. Yep, a number are
going to scream and yell about not being compatible with earlier browsers.
But it's my best guess (and gamble) that as time progresses these next two
years or so, we're going to experience major changes to way info is
provided via the web to include wider usage of html 4.0 compatible
browsers. After all, the browsers themselves are more or less free, and
more computers are being sold that are faster and have more oem ram. And
with the expanding bandwidth that fiber optic modems will offer, I prefer
to place my bets on the future.
Then, I'm not currently earning all my bead and butter solely by way of the
web. If I were, I'd probably continue to hunker down with the dinosaurs
(meaning, the html older browsers are compatible with).
